Twenty people - and a cat - vaccinated against rabies as grandmother bitten by puppy in India fights for life after she was turned away three times by doctors

Twenty people have been vaccinated against rabies amid fears they could have caught the disease from a grandmother, who is currently fighting for her life in a London hospital.

The woman, thought to be in her 50s and of Indian origin, was bitten by a puppy while on holiday in India two months ago.


She sought help when symptoms first surfaced two weeks ago, but was turned away twice by doctors at Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford. It is now thought she is unlikely to survive.                   More Read
